Services

Oakes Community Hospital is a not-for profit, 20-bed Critical Access Hospital (CAH), sponsored by Catholic Health Initiatives, providing selected health care services. As a provider of community based, family oriented healthcare, Oakes Community Hospital believes it can best maintain this level of service through patient centered care, where we continually strive to understand and exceed the expectations of our customers. This focus is enabled through effective communication systems, staff education, team building, process improvement, work redesign and an empowered work force.

Organizational leadership is defined as the board of directors, president/CEO, medical staff, administrative staff, and department managers. These leaders are responsible to provide a framework for health care services based upon the organization's mission and implementation of an effective planning process. The planning process includes an assessment of our customer and community needs, defining the strategic plan, establishing annual operating and capital budgets and ongoing evaluation of each.

		Patient and family advocacy members (PFAC) are area Community Ambassadors to the Oakes Community Hospital. The goal of the PFAC is to enhance the partnership among patients, family members and staff from the hospital, to identify practices, policies and safety initiatives that will benefit from patient and family input.
